The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

"I'm not like you, who have experienced so many setbacks and hardships. Tell me, who are you?"

Shi Rong was speechless.

This old demon is really powerful. It has only been about ten minutes since she arrived, but he can see clearly everything she has experienced?

Who the hell invented this thing called mind reading? Damn him!

"People change, don't they? You and I haven't seen each other for thousands of years. If you don't come out to see me, how can you be sure that it's not the Yuqing you've been thinking about?"

Huaixi thought for a moment and shook his head.

"You are as beautiful as a fairy, as light as a swallow, and you speak softly and charmingly. I have my reasons for not going out to greet you."

Shi Rong understood.

"You don't think I'm pretty, and you're afraid that if you get too close to me, you'll fall in love with me, right? You're overthinking it. How could I possibly compare to your Yuqing?"

Huaixi sneered, his tone lukewarm.

"Ying Shirong is the most stunning beauty in your real world, no matter where you look in the four cities north, east, west, or south. There's no other beauty like her!"

"You say you can't compare to Yu Qing. That's sheer nonsense! The 'Little Goddesses', from the first Jin to the last Luo Shu, are all inferior to you. You're so stunning."

"Tell me, how dare I approach you rashly? Aren't you afraid that I will lock you up in this East Bamboo Forest and you won't be able to leave for the rest of your life?"

Tsk!

Shi Rong was completely speechless. This old demon was really annoying.

"Are you going to come out or not? If you don't come out, I'll go in!"

She hadn't slept all night and was extremely sleepy, yet he actually had the time to bother with her about such trivial matters!

"Pfft..."

When Bo Fan heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You truly are worthy of being the most promising descendant of the Celestial Maiden lineage! But if you act too recklessly, you'll suffer."

After he finished speaking, Huaixi shot out a faint green light wave from inside the house, heading straight for Shi Rong's face.

The latter turned into mist to avoid it, flew up, and shot a silver star light wrapped in pure white rose petals towards the direction of the sound from the bamboo house.

When Bian Fei saw it, she immediately became unhappy.

She definitely couldn't beat Huaixi, but she could still take the opportunity to scold him!

"Hey!? I'm saying, you... Bah! You old devil, you're really willing to fight with the fairy sister, right? What are you thinking? She's so beautiful, and you can actually do this to her?"

While she was speaking a few words, Shi Rong was already suspended in mid-air, secretly exchanging dozens of moves with Huai Xi who was sitting in the room.

"Noisy!"

Huai Xi was furious, and immediately released a gust of demonic power like a dark wind, and hit Bian Fei who was cursing.

Shi Rong was startled, and changed the shape of his hands, sending out a beam of dazzling silver light, forcing the powerful enemy to retreat temporarily.

He quickly flashed in front of Bian Fei, crossed his fingers, and released a translucent barrier, saving her life.

Bo Fan was so disappointed with Bian Fei that he poked her smooth little head with his right hand.

"How many times have I told you to think about the consequences before you speak? Don't you see the situation? The fairy knows spiritual magic, but we don't! We're relying on her to protect us! And you're causing trouble for her?"

Bian Fei knew that she had done something wrong and did not dare to refute.

She pouted with resentment. If her object control skills were not useless to Huaixi, she would have beaten him to a pulp!

After the two of them came to their senses, they looked up again and saw Huai Xi using his magical powers to pull up dozens of thin bamboo tubes in front of the bamboo house door and attack Shi Rong at the same time.

"I…!"

Seeing this, Bian Fei was so angry that she wanted to show off her shrewish skills, but considering what Bo Fan had said, she had to hold it back.

She has lived for more than 20 years and has never seen a man as despicable and shameless as Huaixi!

He doesn't even let a weak woman go. He really wants to fight to the death with her fairy sister, right?

Shi Rong reacted quickly and did a side flip in one clean and neat move, dodging the two sharp bamboo tubes in front.

When the man landed on the ground again, he opened his arms, and more than a dozen pure white gauze ribbons emerged from behind him, tightly binding the remaining bamboo tubes.

He controlled them with the spiritual power overflowing from his palms, crushing the indestructible green bamboo into pieces in the blink of an eye. The pieces were scattered all over the ground along with the torn ribbons.

"Wow! Fairy sister is so amazing~"

Bian Fei clasped her hands together and looked at Shi Rong's tall and slender figure with envy and admiration.

"A beauty is a beauty. Even when she's fighting, she has a pleasing charm."

Bo Fan had the same view and echoed it.

"Of course! She's a leader of their 'Little Heavenly Maiden' clan. She's the most powerful person in history!"

"No matter her appearance, figure, temperament or personality, she is impeccable!"

"Or do you think that those wealthy young men outside the door are all fat and unworldly? They fell in love with her for no reason? She is so outstanding."

That's true!

Bian Fei nodded heavily.

"I'm not a man, otherwise I would marry the fairy sister home! Even if I can't do anything else, I'd be happy just looking at her like this every day."

Upon hearing this, Bo Fan gave her a speechless look.

"Come on, who do you think you are? If even you can marry Shi Rong, why would she still call you the legitimate daughter of the Ying family?"

"Her future husband will either be the Supreme Being of the North Star or a high-ranking official. For ordinary people like us, forget it. Even if we work hard for ten lifetimes, we still won't be able to catch even a corner of her clothes."

Fine.

Bian Fei was speechless because Bo Fan was right.

Before the mixture of broken bamboo and streamers in the air fell, a seven-foot-tall afterimage flew past Bo Fan and Bian Fei.

He walked up to Shi Rong, stretched out his long arms, brought the person into his arms, and held him against his chest.

By the time they realized what was happening, Huaixi was already holding a beautiful woman in his arms.

They looked him up and down secretly. He was wearing a beige Shu embroidery, navy blue and gold-trimmed robe with a round collar and a crotch-less Tang style robe, covering his tall and smooth body.

Her black hair was tied up high on her head and fixed with a black silver headband with red patterns, leaving her with layered slanted bangs in front of her forehead.

The key point is his suave and handsome face, fair skin, jade-like complexion, sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, straight nose, bright red lips and white teeth.

He is at least 70% to 80% similar to Xing Jiashan who is in the Ying family's old house. It can even be said that they are the same person.

……

When Xia Zhi saw this, she couldn't help but cover her half-open cherry mouth with both hands, standing there in shock.

"Oh my God! Why does he look so much like Jiashan?"

Ji Xinyue looked at Huaixi behind the curtain, then turned around and looked at Xing Jiashan who was sitting on the sofa next to her.

"Yeah, what's your relationship? Why do you look so alike?"

Xing Jiashan himself also looked confused and shook his head in confusion.

"I…I don't know."

……

While they were still thinking hard, Huai Xi was also chatting with Shi Rong on the other side.

"You smell like Du Wu. Tell me, where is he?"
